black knife tank mates

[syddakyd]

if the blood parrots breed...they can bite but in a weird way. i was bit by one and defintely felt it so a small fish could get hurt. plus my parrot has bit other fish and scales went flying. some parrots are more deformed then others though i guess

I've seen a black ghost with discus and/or angel fish...side by sude ..no problem

I have had Discus, Angles and Geophagus with my BGK with no problems.

If you want to keep cichlids with BGK or AK, try some of the more peaceful species. Severum, Uaru, Some of the earthmovers, etc. I have four African Knives in with Geophagus braziliensis, 6 polypterus, and a bullhead catfish (didn't really have a good tank to put him in) and they do fine together. Since I added the Geo. the knives have actually been more visible. The other fish were so sedate and hid so much it caused to knives to hide as well.

i have a geopahagus, and a electric blue jack dempsey. each about 4 inches and they get along just fine with my 7inch ghost knife. Get a tube it will just push the tankmates away

i wouldnt put those red devils in there, they will be fine for a while until they grow and mature then you can kiss that knife fish goodbye, oscars work fine tho

i just put a CK with my green terrors and oscar, i dont see why not as long as thier all around the same size or smaller then the CK

I think the devils will harass the poor knife fish once they hit cichlid puberty, i would just buy a senegal bichir not too much larger than the knife, or maybe a female green terror if you really want a cichlid.

BP's have to be the ugliest fish I have seen in some time. Hate the things, love knifes though, and Aro's
